I would like to add this:
Feminists, actual true feminists who believe in gender equality and actively seek to have true equality in that regard, regardless of gender, are noble people.
Self-proclaimed feminists whose actions denote a desire for greater clout over men are not, and should generally be avoided. This type is generally called the 'Straw Feminist'.
Male feminists who only claim to be feminists to obtain girlfriends or wives who are such (Regardless of being true feminists or straw feminists) are not feminists.
(The purpose of that was to let you all know my perception.)
Now, I do not consider myself to be 'feminist', due to the negative connotation therein. However, I do support gender equality. However, I will still hold open doors for women when they enter a building, I will still speak politely to them and refer to them as 'Ma'am' and 'Miss', because that is the polite thing to do.
